Un trader al lavoro nella City di Londra

A trader works the phones at the Metal Exchange in the City of London in London, Britain, 30 September 2011. London equities continued to fall, 30 September, which meant London’s FTSE 100 is on course for its worst quarterly loss since the height of the financial crisis. The FTSE started trade in July valued at just over 6,000 points and has not fallen further over a quarter since the collapse of Lehman brothers in 2008. (Epa/Andy Rain)
